DESIGN CHALLENGE:

2008 ENYA Biennial International Ideas Competition has as its dual goals an anchoring of this neighborhood with its rich history and an envisioning of its future edge condition. Competition entrants are asked to consider ways to ground this rapidly changing community as well as to reforge connections, both material and metaphoric, with the contemporary Manhattan urban fabric.

The principal element of the program is a Community Center/Galleries for the Seamen’s Church Institute, to be constructed on a new pier over the water. In addition, Competitors are encouraged to make interventions in open spaces throughout the remainder of the site.
